I want a child route to run from a Timer route but the following code is not running properly:
Child route:
from("direct:processOrder").id("dd")
// .setBody(constant("select * from customer"))
// .to("jdbc:testdb")
.to("sql:select * from EMPLOYEE?dataSource=masterdata")
.log(LoggingLevel.INFO, "DB")
.to("log:?level=INFO&showBody=true").end();
Main route:
from("timer://foo?period=30000")
.log(LoggingLevel.INFO, "Triggered Company")
.process(new Processor() {
public void process(Exchange exchange) throws Exception {
exchange.getContext().startRoute("dd");
}
})
.end();
Output:

What component to be used in from of the child route so that it just runs when we .startRoute from the main route program?
According to your log, both routes started correctly, so you don't need to execute .startRoute explicitly.
To pass a signal to another route, call .to("direct:processOrder") in your parent route instead of running the processor you have now:
from("timer://foo?period=30000")
.log(LoggingLevel.INFO, "Triggered Company")
.to("direct:processOrder")
.end()
